My call manager server recently crashed with a failed hard drive. After 2 days of diagnosis and 3 seperate part shipments we got everything back running on a new drive.
We are using a MCS 7825H-3.0-IPC2 server. How do I mirror the primary hard drive so if it crashes I can put in the spare? (I would create the image and remove the spare to store safely elsewhere)

Thanks for the info. This would definately do it, but I've already configured the RAID with one drive. Redoing it now would wipe everything (not that I don't now have the experience on reloading!).
I posed this question to the TAC tech I've been working with throughout this crisis and he suggested using an ghosting software.

Hi Ben'
You are always welcome :) We have been looking at this a little bit as well. One of the highly recommended products is from Acronis. It seems alot of people here are using it;
